The University of Texas Medical Branch plans to provide a physician to help care for the thousands of patients Dr. Nancy Hughes treated at her medical practice. Hughes, 67, died March 18 after she was struck by a vehicle on the far east end of Seawall Boulevard. “Nancy Hughes has been a very valued member of our medical staff since she first opened her practice in the 1990s. We wanted to be sure to offer her patients that continuity of care,” President Ben Raimer said. Before opening her own practice, she worked at the medical branch and continued to have admission privileges there.
